OT: Scifi Humor......

[Rick C]

A scifi series has two time travelers in a 2000 pickup truck when the near empty light comes on and they have to figure out how to get gasoline. One asks \"Were they aware at this time that Earth\'s supply of fossil fuel was nearing depletion?\" The other replies, \"They had been for 30 years, but it wasn\'t until 2061 that they finally...\" and is cut off when the search device beeps.

So what\'s going to happen in 2061???

Safe, effective fusion power?

Solar cells are made from sea water?

Badgers are found to be a valuable source of fuel oil?

What is it??? Inquiring minds want to know!

We will have either learned how to truly be civil, or we will
extinct ourselves.

> Safe, effective fusion power?

Yes, but not the compact back to the future units.

Solar cells are made from sea water?

No Graphene and nanotubes.

No. Fat politicians maybe tho.

Ever see how many scooters are in Italy? Or other densely
populated, tiny roadway cities in Europe?

Mine gets 82 mpg. That beats electric costs. Smaller footprint
too.
Still, I resisted gas powered for decades. I actually rode a bicycle
everywhere for 30 years, no car. That lil sucker shits and gets too.
No sub-zero travelling though. Not without spiked tires.

One\'s ass has the smallest footprint. By 2061 we will be at 12
Billion population. Even more crowded. You will see an explosion in
bicycle travel.

A cool thing might be like the overhead cars that ride on cables,
except it would be single passenger zip rides. Little pill capsules
zipping along in a chain, branching off at specific points of
destination.

SHit down here... too many idiots.

But up there... in the future... looks like it works pretty good.

But it isn\'t communism (of any kind), by the way.

Current projection is just over 10 billion in 61 (10,186,811,588), and
not quite 11 billion and steady by 2100 (10,874,902,318) - I expect it
will start declining slowly then:

There seems to be money in Star Trek from time to time. The characters
buy things and have it when the plot says they have to.

I\'m assuming Picard is being imprecise here and means there isn\'t a fiat
currency, the Federation of Planets doesn\'t \"print\" an official currency
or have a central bank it\'s unnecessary.

Bio Diesel for when battery and solar wont do the job. Of course there
are predictions that society will collapse in 2040 because of the
population crunch and lack of resources, so 2061 won\'t be a problem.
